it's a big chunk of the republican conference. how big? we don't know yet. but he is the pit bull on those issues and is not going to back down. that puts boehner in here as sort of the good cop. it's clear that john boehner, speaker boehner, thinks you have to do something to increase the debt limit or it could be politically and economically catastrophic for the party. i don't think eric cantor necessarily shares that world view. >> we will be hearing from tim geithner, who is meeting with the democratic senate side today, the caucus lunch. he's going to come out and give the latest on the dire predictions of what is going to happen if they don't get something done in the next 19 days. >> right. he's going to talk about the effect it would have on the economy, on debt, on social security checks and whether they could go out to recipients. i have talked to enough house republicans about it. they don't buy it. they don't believe in these warnings about catastrophic consequences. they think that you can find the money to be able to fund things while a deal is

so tax payers don't have to foot the bill if a big bank goes under. second, it said to wall street firms, you can't take the same kind of reckless risks that led to the crisis. and third, it put in place the stronger -- the strongest consumer protections in history. and make sure that these protections work so ordinary people were dealt with fairly so they could make informed decisions about their finances. we didn't just change the law. we changed the way the government did business. for years the job of protecting consumers was divided up in a lot of different agencies. so if you had a problem with the mortgage lender you called one place. if you had a problem with a credit card company, you called somebody else. it meant there were a lot of people who were, but that meant nobody was responsible. and we changed that. we cut the bureaucracy and put one consumer watchdog in charge with just one job. looking out for regular people in the financial system. this is an idea that i got from elizabeth warren who i first met years ago. back then this was lon

look, it's not the big companies anymore that are engaged in international competition. it's the small and medium businesses that are, too. we just feel that if we keep taxing our job creators, our businesses, at higher rates than our foreign competitors are taxing theirs, it will cost us economic growth. more to the point, when we keep raising taxes in washington, for ephemeral promises that never materialize, we are not fixing the problem. >> let me get to that topic. the "wall street journal" says even the $600 billion in spending cuts in stage one are worth grabbing as part of a debt ceiling vote. more broadly, democrats in the gang are making a big concession by saying the tax rate should go down, not up. >> i agree with that. >> even obama-care must be reformed. why not grab what you can? >> that's what i want to do. >> and worry about reducing the taxes down the road. >> i think that's what we're going to do. >> if they don't materialize, you can revert and raise taxes down the road. >> i think that's what we should do is grab the kind of spending cuts we can righ

the big question is how big of a health issue is this for her. clearly she lives a pretty aggressive lifestyle. she's out there campaigning, raising money, doing politics all the time. despite having the chronic headaches she's been quite active. if that's the case, i think it's a short-term story that's a minor inconvenience for her and probably won't have a big effect on her standing with conservatives. again, her appeal is her voting record. we had her putting a statement out today that she's not going to vote at all to lift the debt ceiling. that puts her on the far, far right of her party. there's a lot of tea party activists who love that fighting spirit out of her. i think that's one of the many reasons she's going to be a force for some time. >> jim, let me ask you, we had a republican nominee who had had multiple bouts with mel know na a very serious cancer. we had a vice presidential nominee who had four heart attacks. how does that compare with taking medicare for headache? a lot of women suffer from this condition and function quite w
